James E. McDonald, MD
Professor Emeritus |

James E. McDonald, MD, is well-known in eye care circles both as a superb ophthalmologist and an outstanding humanitarian. In 1962, he co-founded FOCUS, Inc. (Foreign Ophthlamologic Care From the United States) to provide eye care to the people of Haiti. Since 1976, FOCUS has concentrated on Nigeria, and Dr. McDonald for many years spent four weeks each year in this woefully underserved nation. He has been active in raising funds, securing donations and recruiting ophthalmologists. In recognition of his humanitarian efforts, he was awarded the Stritch Medal of the Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine in 1979, the Presidential Award of the Illinois Association of Ophthalmology (1996) and the 1997 Outstanding Humanitarian Service Award of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. In 1988 he was conferred with a traditional chieftaincy title of Obong Uwana Abak (Chief of Light) by the Nigerian paramount ruler. Dr. McDonald is now retired from practice and is Professor Emeritus at Loyola but continues his involvement with and support of FOCUS. It is our honor today to acknowledge his contributions to humanity.
